RADIO CONTESTS: Avoiding the busy signal tips

Winning phone-in radio station prizes are difficult. I have heard time and time again people tell me, I can NEVER get through, how do you do it???

Even if I spend the time explaining to them, what are the chances they actually try my methods? Slim to none. Fact is, most people give up relatively quickly. A few busies and they are off to do something else. Known as contest ADD.

A few tips and tricks you might consider next time you want to win a specific prize from a station.

1) Find out the length of time they'll be running the contest
2) Increase chances, avoid peak listener hrs (commuter times 8-9am & 4-6pm).
3) Pay attn to specific caller #'s and time it out (caller 20 = under 1.5min generally)

Following these tips with radio station contests will not only increase your opportunities in winning dramatically, and likely help you win soon!

More tips on phone-in radio station contests soon. Until then, good luck and happy winning!

YOUR CONTEST WINNINGS, Series post #1: Getting organized to win!

If you want to win, I mean REAALLY want to win contest prizes, read up and take note! If you truly follow these steps, you too can have contest prizes arrive in the mail or at your door!

I am going to post up my secrets to winning (shhhhhh, don't tell...see list on side bar of my wins)!!!

This first post is a series of blog posts titled: "YOUR CONTEST WINNINGS".

First and probably most important of anything you will need to do is outline/create a 'visual' of what you want to win. If it's money, cars, trips, movie passes or whatever, just outline it!

Second, let me help you continue the organization process. This weeks assignment is to answer three vital questions to help you identify where you will need to focus your effort.

Answer honestly, and with thought. Remember the amount of focus, time and energy you put in will determine your end results.

Please think through the questions and answer, also write 1-2 sentences to support your answers:

1) How important are the types of prizes you win? (cash, cars, trips etc)
2) Do you have time weekly to dedicate to contests? (yes or no)
3) What type of budget do you have for your contests? (site memberships, postage etc)

Next weeks blog post for YOUR CONTEST WINNINGS, we will dig deep into the vault of contests and track down the best types of contests based on your answers to the three questions. Bye for now!
